I'm not sure I'm comfortable with limiting MVP awards to teams with the best records, either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purbeast Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 This is a FANTASTIC interview. Well worth the time if you have it. Makes me like Shaq even more than I did before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 This Celtics nets game is sloppy with too many fouls, but I’m loving the level of defense. Everything is pressured. The Nets don’t look like they’ve found the playoff gear I expected from them. I think it’s because Durant hasn’t shot well in either game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) Durant is 13 for 39 in two games so far in this series. Yea...I'm expecting a heavy dose of criticism from New York sports media, hope his thin skin is ready for it.

TradeTheBeal! Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Woof…Durant ain’t no spring chicken. This might be tough to bounce back from, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 This is a tough loss for the Nets. They were up big much of this game and seemed in control early on. Kyrie disappeared in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86 Snyder Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I’m lower than almost anyone on the Nets and somehow I still overestimated them. Celtics/Bucks is the best series of the whole playoffs and it happens in round 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 There are a lot of fun matchups in round one. Minny Memphis is fun. Nets Celtics. Bucks Bulls. These are all good basketball. Pelicans Suns might be something to watch now that Booker is hurt. If the Suns somehow get eliminated, the Warriors have a clear path at a possible title.

CRobi21 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 This PHI TOR game is nuts. Now going to OT. And this pbp announcer on NBAtv is awesome. Really enjoying his call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshile Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Wow embiid… also that foul they said shouldn’t be a foul - the replay looked to me like his bicep caught his forehead… of course they only showed it once. But dudes head jerks like he caught him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Drawing up a play for a dominant center to catch and shoot a game winning three in the playoffs would have been unthinkable not too long ago. Embiid is special. Too bad his costar still looks washed up. Watching this Bulls Bucks game I’m once again reminded that Thibbs traded LaVine for one year of Jimmy Butler calling the entire Timberwolves roster a bunch of soft ****es. I don’t think that trade gets the attention it deserves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the Bucks not making it far in the playoffs, even getting bounced in the first round. Holiday and Middleton have to play a lot better.

Destino Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Middleton out for the rest of this game with a sore knee, which seems like a very bad thing. Portis out with an eye injury too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Weird Bucks-Bulls game. Bucks didn't seem to play well and only lost by 4. Really blew the game at the line and their bench only had 8 points. OTOH, if Middleton and Portis are out, Bulls gonna win the series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won’t get past Chicago without their big shot maker. If the Celtics can eliminate the Nets, which still feels like a big “if”, the east is wide open.

Barry.Randolphe Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I'm enjoying watching the Nets superteam blow up in their faces. The whole 'we don't need a coach' and Kyrie's constant bull**** makes this extra juicy. I still have love for KD and wish he'd come home to close out his career....but still, this is enjoyable schadenfreude 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I don't believe it's a coincidence Simmons playing his first game in a year and the threat of going down 0-3 in this series. Basically I'm not buying he's really ready to play so conveniently versus Nets showing cracks of desperation. Simmons being rusty and Durant continuing to underperform while they go down 0-3 at home to the sound resounding boos seems just too good to be true...
